What is Bacteriostatic Water?
Bacteriostatic Water (0.9% benzyl alcohol sterile reconstitution solution) is a Sterile water + 0.9% benzyl alcohol. Sterile water for injection containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as bacteriostatic preservative. Safe for repeated multi-use vial puncture — benzyl alcohol inhibits bacterial growth between uses. The standard reconstitution diluent for lyophilized research peptides stored beyond same-day use.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reconstitute this peptide?
QSC Bacteriostatic Water is supplied as a sterile, multi-dose aqueous solution containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic agent. Each vial is ready-to-use for peptide and protein reconstitution — no preparation required. Draw using a sterile syringe and needle under aseptic conditions.
How should this peptide be stored?
Store at room temperature (15–25°C) before opening. After first use, store at 2–8°C. Multi-dose vials are stable for 28 days after opening with benzyl alcohol preservation. Protect from light; do not freeze.
What purity is this QSC compound and how is it verified?
Bacteriostatic Water contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol which inhibits microbial growth, allowing multiple withdrawals from a single vial over 28 days. Sterile Water for Injection is preservative-free and intended for single use only. Bacteriostatic Water is the preferred reconstitution vehicle for research peptides and proteins requiring multiple doses.
